Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What is the Hermès Carré 90 silk scarf? A: It is the house’s iconic square silk scarf, typically crafted from 100% silk twill with hand‑rolled edges. Each design is printed in vibrant colourways; details vary by motif and year. Please review our photos for the exact print and colours of this vintage piece.
Q: What does “90” mean and what are the dimensions? A: “90” refers to the approximate size of 90 x 90 cm (about 34.8 x 34.8 inches). Because the hems are hand‑rolled, minor variation in measurements is normal.
Q: What are hand‑rolled edges and why do they matter? A: Hermès scarves are finished with edges that are rolled toward the front (the printed side) and hand‑stitched with colour‑matched thread. This refined finish is a hallmark of quality and a useful authenticity indicator. Avoid pressing these hems flat when ironing or steaming.
Q: How can I style a 90 cm scarf? A: This size is highly versatile: wear it around the neck in classic or bandana folds, as a headscarf, folded as a belt, tied to a handbag, or styled as a chic halter or bandeau. For daily bag‑handle wrapping, the narrower Twilly is often preferred, but a Carré 90 can be folded into a slim band if desired.
Q: Is it unisex? A: Yes. Hermès Carré 90 scarves are worn by all genders; styling and colour choice are entirely personal.
Q: How should I care for Hermès silk? A: Keep it away from rain, water, lotions and perfumes, which can spot silk. Store it flat and untied in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent creasing and colour fade. When cleaning is required, we recommend entrusting it to a professional dry cleaner experienced with fine silks.
Q: Can I hand‑wash it at home? A: The care label on Hermès silk scarves typically states dry clean only. Some collectors choose to gently hand‑wash at their own risk, but results can vary; we advise consulting a trusted silk specialist to preserve the fabric and print.
Q: How do I remove creases safely? A: Lightly steam from the reverse side or iron on low heat through a pressing cloth, working from the centre out and avoiding the rolled hems. Allow the scarf to cool flat before folding or storing.
Q: Where is this piece made? A: Hermès Carré 90 scarves are made in France. This specific item bears a France country‑of‑origin label, consistent with the brand’s production.
Q: Does this pre‑owned item come with a box or accessories? A: No. This listing is marked “no accessories,” so an original box or dust cover is not included.
Q: How is authenticity verified and will it have a serial number? A: Hermès scarves do not have serial numbers. Authenticity is assessed through the quality of the silk and print, the “Hermès Paris” signature and, depending on era, an artist’s signature within the design, plus hand‑rolled hems that roll toward the front. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication before sale.
